Food / Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) and its use in Poland [30]

Can't agree more. MSG enables the producer to use poorer quality ingredients that still taste roughly palatable. A big problem is the huge volume of fake foods on the market -- the synthetic aroma syndrome. Cherry-flavoured this or mushroom-flavoured something else are one example. Most of the ingredients never came near an orchard or forest but where concocted in a lab by men in white coats. I bought a syrup at Biedronka labelled "Malina", not sok or syrop malinowy, just malina. The only fruit extract was chokeberry, the rest was various chemicals including fake raspberry aroma.

The 64-złoty question: is it possible to produce real, natural, less-chemicalised foods without pricing them sky-high?

Let's not forget Tusk saving Poland's shipyards. He solemnly announced that he had wealthy Arab investors lined up to finance the upgrade which would make Poland a competitive shipbuilder and create new jobs and then......another fizzle. One indisputable PO achievement has been their propaganda...clever, hard-hitting, seductive but totally at loggerheads with reality.

This time they didn't have to. PO has done it for them over the past 8 years. Scandals and unkept promises were the hallmark of those wasted two terms in office. Unfinished motorways, failed crackdown on designer drugs, mucked-up health service, gambling scandal, Nowak's wristwatch scandal, tape scandal which has re-emerged once again with the Stonoga leaks -- these are but a few of the PO's glorious "achievements".

And Poland's supreme legal criterion is the Polish constitution which defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman. Until that is changed (rather unlikely in the foreseeable future for lack of a constituional majority), no homo is gonna marry in Poland.

That's what the thread is about, innit? You haven't replied as to whether the 1.2-2% average appears in every community, dneomiantion, political party, etc. That was the original question. Saying asininely as one of your mates did that "there are many gay Catholics" simply skirts the issue. But you have to support one another, don't you?

If 1.2 - 2% of the general population is homosexual, then what % of practicing Catholics are? What about Anglicans, Lutherans, Baptists, Jews, Muslims?
You seem to have studied the issue, so how does this affliction (disorder, orientation, deviation, proclivity - call it what you will) play out by nationality if it does? Are there genetic differences based on ethnicity?

You're probably right. In every group -- community, neighbourhood, parish, club, political grouping, etc. --there are only a handful of gung-ho activists.
How then did this 1.2-2% minority, a tiny fraction of whom are activists, manage to impose their self-serving propaganda and agenda on such wide sections of the media, academia and other opinion-makers? The more so that the agitation does not focus solely on what they perceive as theri "rights", but attacks the rest of society and its norms and values as well.

What about parents who don't want their five-year-old to be indoctrinated with stories about the cute little penguin who had two daddies?

What does the Parent A and Parent B syndrome have to do with equality? That's meddling in somebody else's affairs. Most of society want mothers and fathers, not letterised or numerical caregivers. Most people want their kids to read about other normal kids at school, not weirdo

Catholics voted this way or that in a referendum as a result of high-powered harangueing and brainwashing by the LGBT lobby. But who said Catholics are infallible? Every kind of law can be passed and plebiscite held but does that alone make it right, sensible or advisable?

That's true but their LGTB propaganda machine is lavishly bankrolled by powerful corporate media and entertainment (celebrity) circles, giving them brainwashing potential far beyond theri actual numbers. And it's not just about gay rights but about attacking the rest of society who believe in married heterosexual families with children. Already last year in Poland the Education Ministry under pressure from the homo lobby reportedly stopped inviting traditional families to review school textbooks. They prefer to portray so-called "alterrnative" minority family arrangements, so things are now getting to be homo-normative.

The war on Christianity is very real and twin-pronged: from leftist liberal Christophobes in the West and religious (Muslim, Hindu) fanatics in the East. Every year between 100,000 and 160,000 people are killed because of their Christian faith. If that isn't a war on Christianity, what is?

Discrimiantion towards married hetero couples and heteros in general is already here. That's already a problem in the States. In many places school books cannot show a happy hetero family of married parents and their naturally born children. And it won't end there. They won't be happy until the turn everything on its head: Parent A and Parent B insetad of father and mother; young primary school kids being asked if they are hetero or homo... There are more and more instances of attacks on the traditional, non-dysfunctional family, on Christianity and many other things most people hold dear. And the threat is all the gtreater since LGBT fanatics are in colluison with radical. many-hating feminists who are also opposed to the very same traditions and institutions.
